Studies of globalization tend to foreground movements, mobilities
or flows, while structures that remain stable and unchanged are
often ignored. This volume foregrounds the latter. Discarding the
term "globalization" for analytic purposes, this volume suggests
that the significance of globalizing processes is best understood
as an experiential, imaginary and epistemological dimension in
people's lives. The authors explore how meaningful relations are
made when the "socially local is not necessarily the geographically
near" and how connections are made and unmade that reach beyond the
specificity of time and place. Finally, this volume is about the
ways knowledge and received wisdom are challenged and recast
through processes of re-scaling, and how the understanding of
locality and identity are transformed as a result.
